Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel sang his parents’ Victoria and David’s special song at the footballer’s 50th birthday party on Saturday night.
The Beckhams enjoyed a week’s worth of celebrations for David’s milestone birthday, which culminated with a star-studded bash at London’s esteemed restaurant Core in London on Saturday.
The party was attended by A-list stars including Tom Cruise while David and Victoria’s children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, all attended, though their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, was notably absent.
Their doting kids made sweet gestures for their parents at the party, with Romeo and Harper both making speeches, while Cruz sang with his girlfriend Jackie, 29.
Jackie took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a heartwarming video of her and Cruz taking to the stage to belt out Islands in the Stream for the crowds.
The 1983 hit, by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, is well-known for being Victoria and David’s favourite song and they danced to it at the end of the BECKHAM Netflix documentary.

At the party, both Cruz and Jackie took on the vocals as they performed a melodic version of the popular song, while Cruz also played guitar.
After finishing the song, Cruz leant in and gave Jackie a kiss on the neck while the crowds erupted into applause for the couple.
Sharing the footage to Instagram, Jackie captioned the post: ‘From 1 lova 2 anotha,’ while Cruz added: ‘Ah ahhhh,’ both in reference to the song’s famous lyrics.
On the eve of David’s 50th birthday, Victoria had also shared a video of her and her husband dancing along to the song.
In the clip, they danced together to their favourite song Islands In The Stream, which has now become synonymous with the couple.
She penned in the caption: ‘Happy birthday eve @davidbeckham… my everything. My best friend, soul mate and dance partner for life.
‘Like the song says. We start and end as one, In love forever, We can ride it together, ah ha I love you xxxxxxxxxx.’
During David’s star-studded party on Saturday, Romeo also made a sweet tribute and stepped up in his older brother Brooklyn’s absence to deliver a speech.

Romeo reportedly told guests: ‘Good evening everyone. I would like to start by thanking you all for being here tonight.
‘I know without many of you in here tonight he wouldn’t be half of the man he is today. But to the man of the moment…’
‘But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were no-shows at any of David’s birthday events last week despite claims they pulled out of the Met Gala to attend, with sources claiming he felt his wife was being blamed for a rift with his family.
It was claimed Brooklyn and Nicola pulled out of attending the Met Gala with the intention of attending David’s birthday party, but were no shows at both events.
A source told The Sun, Brooklyn was planning to attending David’s 50th birthday party, but felt too uncomfortable to come after he felt Nicola was being blamed for the rift with his family.
An insider claimed: ‘They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David’s party on Saturday.
‘But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.

‘She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she’s a loyal wife.’
Claims that Brooklyn and Nicola were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David’s birthday privately were also said to be untrue.
Sources close to Nicola told US website TMZ they wanted ‘to get together privately’ to avoid Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull as the couple are said to ‘have a problem’ with her.
Brooklyn missed out on David’s early celebrations in Miami last month as well as parties in the Cotswolds, France and London this week.
Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn also declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a ‘boys’ fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.
The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.
Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s decision was influenced by his American actress wife Nicola, 30.
‘Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,’ one claimed.
‘Then he came to London in time but he didn’t go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.’
David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: ‘You were missed @brooklynbeckham.’
